Kids don't need organized free time

This response to the March 12 In the News - "Should students be asked to pay to play sports?" - got my attention. It seems to me that in this economy more money should be spent on a better education and less on organized sports. Whatever happened to going to the schoolyard to play with your friends, or playing ball in the street? Kids do not need adults to organize their free time.

I think that getting a good education, so you can afford to support yourself as an adult, is far more important than having subsidized sports. Start looking down the road at these kids' future and make sure they do indeed have one. Look at the big picture and try to give our kids a future!
